Make History - Volunteer Now!
Every day, volunteers at the Missouri History Museum (MHS) help make the
history of our community more accessible. Putting their talents to work at the
Missouri History Museum in Forest Park and the Library and Research Center,
volunteers are essential to the work which began in 1866. Volunteers greet
visitors, conduct tours and programs, staff the Museum Shop, assist with
research, help preserve artifacts and much more.
People with special skills, flexible schedules or an interest in history are
welcome to join our volunteer program. The Missouri Historical Society is
committed to the success of each volunteer and offers an extensive training
program designed to provide historical background information, specific skills
and knowledge.
